Hitachi, John Deere wheel loader buyers get choice of rewards

Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia (HCA) is offering buyers of Hitachi and John Deere wheel loaders a choice of rewards worth up to $12,000 if they buy a machine between now and the end of February.

John Deere 844K wheel loader.

The company’s ChoicePlus program — which already applies to excavators — allows buyers to choose between 12 months of free servicing, a free four year powertrain warranty, 2.99 percent finance up to four years or 3.99 percent up to five years, or overseas trips to Hitachi’s factory in Japan or John Deere’s factory in the United States.

"There is real value in the rewards," says HCA construction, forestry and mining director of sales Gilberto Pauleta. "The free service offer is worth between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on the size of the machine.

"Our standard powertrain warranty is 36 months so the ChoicePlus option is a significant step up for those customers interested in the extra peace of mind that comes from an extended warranty."

"The interest rate offer, which includes fixed rates for four or five years, is worth about 3.5 per cent of the capital cost of the machine. As for the exclusive factory trip, we think that this will be a real eye opener for those who have not previously been to our factories," Gilberto adds.

The ChoicePlus offer is available across the Hitachi wheel loader range from the 1.1-cubic-metre bucket ZW100 to the 3.7m3 ZW250; and the John Deere wheel loader range from the 3.6m3 724K to the 5.5m3 844K.
